Knitting dishcloths is a good way to practice your new found knitting skills, or as an advanced knitter practice new stitches. It also is a welcome practical knit that goes up fast, and is usable!
I just finished one dishcloth and I'm raring to go on the next one. The above dishcloth that I just started on needles is Laws of Knitting- Kitchen Dishcloth ~ Double Seed Stitch and is done in the Double Seed stitch or Irish Moss stitch. Detangling Seed Stitch vs. Moss Stitch- Exploring Different Knitting Patterns
Finished dishcloth- Dishcloth #3117 by Lily Sugar'n Cream
Garter Stitch (Knit- Knit on both sides)
I can't stand the thought of getting the first one dirty by using it until I have another on the way, I know they're supposed to be used, but. Maybe if I get a few done it won't pain me to use them!
So the pattern for the dishcloth I just started to do is Kitchen Dishcloth ~ Double Seed Stitch. I'll just use what I have leftover from the last one- Peaches & Cream in Lotus Blossom (Walmart). I might need a tad more, but it was under $2. Talk about a cheap pleasure.
